lPuralc Times.
On one ui our perfect summer days, few
years ago, a young man, apparently a
stranger, left Grand Island, in Niagara
River, Tor an hours fishing. lie rows Tor
time vigorously down stream, and casts
out his line, but becoming tired OF the rec.
reation then he quietly drops into a dreamy
mood, half awake and hall asleep, in his
enjoyment of perfect ease.
As he listessly drifts IN the steady breeze
and current, the smooth and CLASSY water
gives him no alarm.
As the boat hears the right bank man
hastens towards him from field near by,
sasticulatng iranticaily, trying 90 attract
his attention aad pointing down the river,

ished at the spectacle. pushes further out
into the stream again, forgetting all, but
wondering why this unsought-iOr stranger
should presume to disturb him IN his en-
loyments. He can see 10 occasion for such
demonstrations.
Suddenly the river narrows, the current
grows stronger, and the boat II borne rap
idly onward. 1t has entered the rapids!
Too late the man becomes aware Of his
peril. He seizes the oar and now begins a
hopeless struggle with the rushing, roaring
waters. The Geld perspiration flows down
his
BLANCHED CHEEK,
and mis- eyes assume a CLASSY, staring gaze
al he descends. The oars drop from his
nervous and paralyzed hands. His cries OF
agony and despair are drowned in the roar
OF the awful cataract. Round and round
in the rapids the little boat tits feebeness

ward, 1t is poised for moment on the
brink OF the prsripice, and then disappears
forever in the Whirlpool
His friends learn later how indifferently
he driited into danger, how he ignored the
warning from the stranger. aud that, be-
cause it came from a stranger. though with
every appearance OF truth and honesty, the
victim preferred to rest undisturbed'
So it is with many of the little ills OF the
present time. The trouble goes smoothly
and rapidly onward. The people indifier-
ent TO their surroundings, in the happiness
OF life, these il : have no comparison with
the enjCyments that are about them. The
condition of disordered kidneys, that be-
come so, surely but stealthly and fatally,
is yet looked upon at first with much indii-
ference These organs with their few nerves,

but warn us in every other part ofthe body
that something is wrong.
Ii a decayed tooth causes us one nights

tracing or repairing it. The blood that
flows to the maden's cheek will not add to
her beauty unless it has been purified by

health can be kept up with the same blood
that passes through the diseased kidneys

come putrefed with corruption itself. In
them there is no pain and no alarm. yet
we have time and again published the warn
ing from the proprietors OF Warmers safe
cure, but because, perhaps, it was a paid
for warning it has
GONE BY MANY UNHEEDED
the same 81 a warning from a stranger on
the bank OF the river. 1t causes a mo-
ment's thought and anxiety, and then the
people settle back and place their conf
dence in the medical profession which pre-
tends to excel in hundreds OF diseases Tor
getting that old saying. "A Jack OF all
trades is master of none" They are like
the dissatisfied dog over the bone, who
knows he cannot consume the same. yet
appear to trespass upon his rights.
So 1t is with the medical profession.
They know that they cannot cure advanced
kidney diseases, and wheL its wasting cor
ruption is about ended they then to excuse
themselves pronounce it Brghts disease.
Az near as we can learn from the public in
vestigation given to the public by the pro-
prietors OF Warmers safe cure and from
other reliable sources there is no point in
this disorder that is called Bright's disease
until it has reached a fatal development
and at such time there is but little to be
done. 1t is useless to
CATCH up THE OARS
or cry out in our despair then, but when
the first symptoms of disortlered kidneys
become apparent. be they ever So slight,
IL is really the beginning OF Bright s Disease.
1t is then that the proper remedies must be
used and we should not cit listlessly and
glide indifferently forward looking upon
the warning with Indifference or contempt.
We often receive benefit from strangers
who are better acquainted with a subject
than Others who pretend and do not know,
and who, because Of their inability, try to
deaden our sense OF danger because it is be-
yond their power to assist.
Why should we be thus blinded and ig-
more the warning of the stranger which can
not be disputed and is true?
We give the foregoing thoughts thus iorci-
biy in the hope that some OF our readers
may take warning before they are in the
cataract and it il too late. Do mot think the
strangers warning is always worthless,
even il it may seem to be given for selfish
reason.
